If Tariff taxes benoh3 labor, the feet

THE OHIO RACE PROBLEN

The coIOr line in the common schools
has been transferred from the south
from Georgia to Ohio where those people
are wrestling with the subject. The
negroes, who had separate schools, de-
serted them and demanded admittlnce to
the white schools, which was denied
them. Public meetings. have been called,
speeches have been made and the upshot
of the whole thing is that the schools
have been closed rather than submit to
mixed attendance, and the Legislature
will be called upon to solve the ugly
problem. The southern people are not
disposed to rejoice over the perplexities
of their northern brethren. They know
what it is to be confronted by these
been taught that where race prejudice
exists it will make itself manifest and en-
force compliance with its wishes. what
ever msy be the outcome in Olio, it is
certain thst drastic legislation can do no
more than drive white children from the
public schools. No legislative enactment
can allay feeling, obliterate race prejudice
or compel O commingling Of the races on
social equality. II is.perhaps fortunate
for the south that the battle ground has
been changed, and that those who are so
ready to cry down the south
and its treatment Of the coiored
mar, have the question brought
into their own households where they can
meet the question face to face. The
Orleans who are ct present engaged in
solving the question will be more gener-
Gus towards the south and less given 20
censure. Southern schools do not con-
template commingling of the races and
the fact has beer accepted IS matter Of
course. Every child. white and black, is
given an education and no school has to
be closed in order that mixed attend
ance may be obvisted.

THE protectionists see the fatality
